Me and two eyes will definitely be there.

Will try and persuade LanFranc to join me on the songs we've rewritten for Tsunami Fundraising that we're doing at WaveAid (see separate thread).

We've also got a DVD with images for a backdrop/intro/whatever that twoeyes put together if you'd like to play it-will give to Martin Wed. Will be there soon as 2eyes has finished his stint in town. Well done guys for your organisation/enthusiasm. Some other organisers (not mudcatters) losing the focus a bit of why we're doing this! Fun, folks and money!

Cheers May. You will have to explain your name to me on Wednesday. Plus I have your CD with "The Story Teller" (At Last) not the best singing on it but it will do for now. Cheers CU Wednesday, if not before.

Oh - it's Pamela Pam - I thought the name sounded familiar

It's not possible after 8pm - unless she joins in with the Folkaholics

Hi everybody - sorry I've been quiet - Are you sure it's got a K in it

Worrying thoughts Bert - Have you tried Smarties - they're made from crushed beetles - evidently

I know Rachel & Bob are always threatening to leave for better pastures - but I've never heard the pub is closing down story before

Only a week to go - if you can all go forth and tell everyone - it will be much appreciated

Thanks

Oh dear whats been started, Reminder - This Thursday a sing-a-round at the red lion in radlett starts at 8 pm? Borehamwood 'HAM' Nick - Steve and crew. See you Weds for the blues thingy.

Do support Thursday club at the cricketers in redbourn where Chris Flegg is playing and Janet could do with a bit more help.

fleggy is a trifick guy and probably the best guitarist you could ever wish to see and hear.

come to that so could we in St Albans!! where fleggy frequently hangs out

Sessions are fine but do support your local folk clubs where you can hear great songs by some real great talent and its not that expensive either.

I'm playing dominoes this Thursday - were away at the Crown - tough match - I won't be free on Thursdays for a while

I hope Chris is well supported - I have great admiration for him - but I do find all those twiddly bits a bit boring - as I get older; I find more straight forward delivery more appealing - I've done with worshipping Bill Nelson

Up folk clubs everywhere

Guru - do try and get to Barton by five as there is a 20 strong 17th century choir turning up to sing provocative period songs; dressed in authentic costumes

charge em double before they start, fine em for dressing as such and then again for singing, and even again for being old.And if they aint old ,for not being old.

That sounds exciting Ross. Is it like Football where if you play at home you have a slight advantage? And hello Bertie, I am glad you mentioned the singaround on Thursday cos I thought it was on Wednesday. Can't make Thursday cos it is a "Folkaholicks" practise night. Say hello to Nick for me please and will you ask him the plans to go to Ireland are getting on, some of us still want to go. Cheers. Are you coming to The Blue Anchor Tuesday night?

Many apologies to all; for letting the thread disappear of the page

I hope the excitement's still mounting

I think I'll go to the Blue Anchor tonight; but I'm not sure as it means changing me vest and washing me armpits

Date: 01 Feb 05 - 08:06 PM

That does not stop you normally Ross. Don't forget Singaround at The Redlion in Radlett on Thursday, run by Nick Male. How did The Blue Anchor go Ross? See you on Saturday. By the way can you book a table for four of us for Saturday at 7.00 o'clock at The Bull when you go next please. Cheers. And then confirm back here by Friday night. Cheers. We were going to go to The Blue Anchor tonight but we had our last practise before the main event on Saturday instead. Yippeeee.

Hi Martin - yeah, I only changed me vest in the end - JB examined me armpits - they failed the freshness test

The Blue Anchor was okay - a chap from Ipswich turned up and he was very good - we missed you all - there seemed to be more listeners than singers

Can you book a table at the Bull? - Are you sure you're not confusing the Bull for the Ritz; or do you mean in the function room for the do - or is it for a meal in the front?

Hope the practice went okay?

I suppose you're going to tell me HRH Prince Charles was there as well

Hello Ross. Glad it all went well. We did, we ran through the set for Saturday (most of it twice) then ended up at their local. Trevor said about booking a table, at the front, in the pub. So if you can on Thursday, that would be much gratutued. 7.00pm Sat, for The Folkaholicks. Cheers. Also you could find out first hand about this open or close thing.
